Tend the flame
Goodness doesn't stay lit on its own.
It needs feeding. Not once. Not when you feel inspired.
Every day. Even the flat days.
We talk about character like it's a monument.
Something finished.
Something to point to.
Built once. Permanent. Yours to display.
Leave a monument alone and it holds.
Leave a flame alone and it doesn't.
It just goes out.
We treat character like a monument, it's more like a flame. Leave a monument alone and it holds. Leave a flame alone and it doesn't.
